St. Louis BBQ store is a great place!! I always go in there when I’m in town and they are very helpful. Their selection is huge on rubs and sauces and can even try rubs before you buy. When I order online the shipping is super super fast and always correct. I would and have recommended St. Louis BBQ store to anyone wanting good products and super service!!!

I searched hours online for a specific rub. Every site I went to wanted to charge me $25 or more to ship a container of rub to Hawaii. This place uses USPS and only charged the priority mail price. A sign of a good business is when they don't use shipping as a profit factor. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Doing business with these guys was a fantastic experience from start to finish. They were one of the few stores who had the Backwoods G2 Chubby in stock and ready to go. All stores seem to charge the same price for this smoker but most charge a $100.00 crating fee. They did not. Shipping was also more than reasonable and although I didn't request lift gate service the delivery truck had it. During the order process I had a few questions and seemed to get good advice. I doesn't get much better than this.

Pretty cool barbecue store. Has everything you need to start being serious about a barbecue hobby, or just pick up a more specialist piece you heard about on the internet. Sauces, rubs, thermometers, knives, wood chips, tools, and even the grills and smokers themselves are all available to look at, check out and take home. Entrance is in the back which can be initially confusing, and parking is a bit tight so maybe don't drive anything too over-sized.

When we got there I had lots of questions even though I had done a lot of research. No pressure to buy the more expensive smoker I reserved. Spent about an hour gathering knowledge from the helpful employees as I hemmed and ha we'd around. Eventually ended up with an equal quality, leas expensive smoker. Very satisfied. They also loaded my nearly 200 lbs smoker in my van with care. It was clear that their goal was to make me happy and proud of my purchase.

Which they did but unfortunately, I wasn't able to get there until 15 min after closing. He offered to stay open for me until I got there, but if he forgot, I was to call his phone and he'd come right back up. Amazing customer service. I'm always coming back here for everything I need.

We we're lucky to catch the owner there right before he was about to leave and he was so nice and invited us in even though they were closed. We only spent $6 on cedar planks and he was still very nice. He went out of his way and was extremely friendly! Definitely recommend this place to anyone that likes to BBQ.

Purchased a Fireboard wireless thermometer system now from the fine folks here... Louis has been more than helpful on the set up and use.. I have used it a couple of times and HIGHLY recommend anyone needing one to get this one... Very accurate within .1 dgrees... the best one by far I own.... The best feature is I can go across town and still see the temps of what I'm smoking at home... Not sure what I need next BUT I WILL buy it from these guys! We have to support our small businesses and these guys by far give excellent customer service!... I will continue to add additional updates as I get new products...Another update to my review... im changing my low score review to a 5 star today...out of the blue and because Ron reached out to me I stopped by the store to see if they really were the business they were saying they were... to my surprise my name was known by the young man at the counter due to my low review.. he was instructed if I ever came by or needed anything to make sure I was taken care of... they had no idea if or when I would come by or give them a chance to earn my business back... they were VERY friendly and went above and beyond with answering all my questions and concerns.. I BOUGHT a PK classic along with several sauces and rubs because of the great customer service I was given in person...... THESE guys are for real with thier concerns and customer service... they have a customer now that will brag about being taken care of over a bad experience...I am removing my bad review and giving a much better one...THANKS FOR THE GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE... YOU'VE EARNED MY BUSINESS! I will be back!...

This place is awesome. I walked in quite certain that I was going to walk out with a GMG pellet cooker. When I got there, the staff helped me decide on buying a Blazingrill cooker. They asked me all kinds of questions to make sure I picked out the right grill. I feel quite certain that I chose the right one. Beyond grills, there is a ton of accessories, sauces, rubs, spices, etc. The staff was more than knowledgable and were great to talk to. If you're looking for grilling/smoking products in the STL area, look no further.

Best BBQ store in St. Louis. These guys are very knowledgeable and have an excellent selection of products. I came in to get a replacement probe for my Flame Boss but walked out with more than just that. There is all kinds of wood chunks that you can buy by the pound, every rub or sauce you could probably want in these parts, grills and smokers of all types, ThermoWorks products, books, accessories, and so much more. What I thought was really cool was that they have items like the Flame Boss and other temperature control devices on the shelf where you can actually pick them up and look at them without trying to figure them out through the packaging.
Best of all, their prices are great!

Bought a Humphrey's Battle Box from these guys with a couple extra racks, just prior to the July 4th holiday weekend. The service was outstanding. When they realized that a couple accessories were missing (prior to shipment), they upgraded
them automatically so that I wouldn't miss the planned holiday smoke. They also packaged the smoker themselves so that it arrived in perfect condition. They were quick to call back or respond to email, so I never felt like I was in the dark
during the purchase or delivery process. I would absolutely recommend these guys and of course go back to them again if I ever have a need for another smoker. Although, this Humphrey's box is a beast, and coupled with a CyberQ controller, I
don't see myself needing anything else any time soon!

I had a great experience at this place. I had just gotten a barrel grill as a gift from my job. But it had no meat rack in it. Went there and they did not have anything. But the guy at the front counter said hold let me look in the back. He came
back with a beautiful stainless steel rack. It was to big but he said he would cut it down for me. At no extra charge. That made me feel special. I drove 45 minutes to this place and they treated me like an friend of the family. Will be going back
soon. It's worth the drive.

There is no place in St. Louis like this place. It's all about BBQ and the folks in there know their products and they are happy to talk to you about equipment, seasonings, or sauces. They are family owned and you are treated like family. Not sure
there is a place in town that carriers this many competition grade seasonings and sauces. And if you have a pellet smoker, they carry the absolute best 100% pure wood pellets you can find and at reasonable prices. If you are into BBQ you have to
check this place out. If you aren't, maybe you should visit and discover the world of "low and slow". And if you think BBQ is too much work, grab a pellet smoker and be prepared to be amazed at how easy it is to turn out great food without having
to tend to a fire. We purchased a pellet smoker almost one year ago from Stl BBQ and I always look forward to going in and buying pellets, checking out new sauces or seasoning and talking BBQ with whomever is in the store.

I really do not know if any other BBQ shop can compete with St. Louis BBQ at 9703 Gravois Road.
Frequently the store demos a pellet smoker on or near the weekend and it is difficult to get past the sweet smell of the ribs that are cooking or just ththat marvelous blue smoke from the grill. Demonstrating what they sell of some the lines like Green Mountain Grill and Blaz’n Grill Works, an interested BBQer will know that the staff here practices what it promotes.
I went there originally to clarify in my mind the differences between a Traeger pellet smoker and a Green Mountain Grill pellet smoker. Louis and Scott waited on me and were very patient with my many questions. I had, from on-line research, pretty much convinced myself that I was going to purchase a Traeger smoker (St. Louis BBQ does not carry Traeger) so I was there to really see the GMG Daniel Boone. Louis, who was there in the shop alone, patiently found and then took the time to not only answer the questions I had but also found time to dismantle the GMG Daniel Boone pellet smoker while explaining to me the differences between the two grills. I left with a lot of information to digest. I eventually went with the GMG Daniel Boone.
I can honestly say that my purchase would have never happened had it not been for the friendly professinalism, patience, personality and interest shown by all. This is one store that does not hire the bubble gum popping, Smartphone users to help with operations. These people really seem to know their product lines and the BBQ grills and smokers they sell. And they never seem too busy to help.
With regard to their lines of merchandise, they can provide anyone with a smoker that will fill a person’s needs and not disappoint. Their rubs and sauces fill a wall each. I was surprised to see BBQ sauce from “The Shed” a barbeque and blues joint down in Mississippi and is one of my favorites. Also, if patrons frequent the venerable “Pappy’s” of St. Louis, they will be quite pleased find all of Pappy’s sauces there, too.
If BBQers visit the on-line site, “Amazing Ribs”, it is here that they will find many of the essential—not estoteric nor exoteric—items featured on Meathead’s blog. From Thermapens and ThermoPops to Frogmats and Grill Grates, an enthusiast can find it here.
In closing, allow me to say that St. Louis BBQ at 9703 Gravois Road is a great venue for beginning and serious BBQers alike. From preparation to cooking, this store seems to have it all.

Greetings all at the St Louis BBQ Store. I just wanted to write a quick thank you again for your help in getting my Humphrey's Pint not long ago! The new cooker helped our team take two 1st place trophies, a 7th place ribbon, and a 4th overall
finish at the recent Wildwood BBQ Bash. I look forward to many more cooks, comps, and just plain good eating bbq from this awesome pit, as well as continuing to use your store as the place to go for some of the best bbq products around.
Regards,

Ron, my new Backwoods Fatboy arrived safe and sound this afternoon. Your crating skills are second to none and worth every dollar. The shipper would have had to work pretty hard to damage the contents.
I also couldn't be more thrilled with the service provided throughout the entire selection and purchase process. You took the time to assess my needs, educated me regarding the choices, and made appropriate recommendations for my budget.
Marian was diligent in keeping me up to date after the sale and outlining the shipper's practices. Perfect coordination. Nearly peerless commitment to excellence.
You both should be very proud of the standards you exemplify and integrity you demonstrate with your customers in running St Louis BBQ Store.
Thanks again. I'm grateful, and I'll be back downstream.

Just purchased a Humphreys BB'Cube from St.Louis BBQ Store and it is just as great as Ron said it would be. The BB'Cube holds in the heat for long periods of time and the build quality is fantastic. The large racks and being able
to fit full size hotel pans in the smoker are perfect. This smoker was built to last. We paired this smoker with the BBQ Guru CyberQ that we also purchased from them and it just makes this a flawless smoker. Ron and Marian have
been exceptionally helpful during this process. Keep up the great work and we are now a life time customer of the St.Louis BBQ Store!!

Hi Ron and Marian, Well we finally got to do a small cook on Sunday. Just a few ribs, chicken and sausage with a few friends. As the little books says -- it's almost impossible to over cook on a Backwoods. (ie go wrong). I am sure this little
smoker will be very happy down here in Perth Western Australia. As we get to know each other real good. I think I am very lucky to live in an age that makes such things possible. But such things aren't possible without people like you. So thank
you for every thing you did to help get this uniquely American smoker out here. So when folks ask where did you get that BBQ I'll say --- The St Louis BBQ Store Missouri
Kind Regards

First real cook on the new Backwoods Fatboy. 13 briskets and 10 butts between the Fatboy and a friends offset. Couldn't be happier with the performance of the Fatboy. Temp locks in and stays, hardly uses any fuel and turns out a tasty product. Just what I
was looking for. Cooking my best BBQ ever. Thanks STL BBQ!

Just purchased a new Backwoods Competitor... This is the third Backwoods smoker I have purchased from Ron, and everything from selected options to delivery went smooth as can be (as usual). You can't go wrong dealing with
Ron and the folks at the St. Louis BBQ Store! Thanks again, Ron!

I purchased a Meadow Creek TS250 smoker, with a BBQ42 chicken cooker, along with some extras and really enjoy it. It's a great smoker. Ron is a super guy, who did everything to make our deal run very smooth. Ron does a
great job and I would recommend calling him first before going anywhere else.
Thanks Ron

I bought my Husband the Little Chubby smoker for Christmas. Now that the weather is nice he has used it twice and loves it.
Ron Kaup's customer service is above and beyond. I live in Nebraska and he was able to get the smoker shipped up to me with no extra cost and I didn't need to drive hours to pick it up.
I would recommend Ron to anyone and everyone. I have told everyone I know who has expressed interest in my husband's smoker and how impressed I was.

If you're looking for a great smoker Ron Kaup is the dealer to see! I'm a repeat customer and always had a great buying experience from the St Louis BBQ Store. I purchased a Backwoods Party a few years ago and now again Ron was able to deliver a new
Backwoods Competitor model in time for the start of the BBQ competition season. I received exactly what I ordered in perfect condition. Ron provided me with firsthand experience & knowledge on backwoods along with some great savings. If you're looking
for either a great home grill or competition model give Ron a call or just drop an email he has always been very responsive.

I recently purchased a Backwoods smoker from Ron. I highly recommend Ron and the St. Louis BBQ store for store for smoker purchases. Ron uses the smokers that he sells and is highly knowledgeable about how they work. He'll
help you select the right cooker for your needs and will advise you how to use it, which greatly reduces the leaning curve, and he is available for advice and conslutation after the purchase. His outstanding customer service adds
value to your smoker purchase.

After having a Backwoods Party model for 5 years I thought it was time to update and decided to go with a new G2 Party model. I did some searching online and decided to purchase from St. Louis BBQ Store. The service and
price I received from Ron was simply the best. My unit was delivered in perfect shape and purchasing from Ron was simple because of his great customer service.
Thank You!

I purchased my Meadow Creek TS- 250 from Ron Sunday, the 24th of February, it was love at first sight (the Smoker). I had been looking at the TS-250 for three years. I talked to Ron just to learn more about the product,
and how the unit really works. Ron asked about my needs, what my plans were, and what I wanted in my future. What a pleasure to deal with a company that puts the customer first. I am sure that Sunday was the start of
a great friendship. I will be buying again soon.

"After a lot of research on the net and talking to many pit masters, I finally decided on the backwoods line of cookers. I couldn't be more pleased with these smokers! They are simply awesome.
The moisture produced from the water pan steams the meat at the same time it is smoked. The result is tender, juicy, flavorful BBQ. Ron is awesome to work with and made sure everything went right.
Ron recommended the right options and insured the cooker made it to my driveway.
Thanks Ron for everything!"

"I purchased my FEC-100 through St Louis BBQ Store in February of 2010.
I sought out the FEC-100 because of it's long-standing reputation as one of the most reliable cookers on the BBQ circuit, and the fact that it could be used for both BBQ competitions as well as for my catering business.
I chose to purchase my FEC through St Louis BBQ Store due to consistent positive feedback I received from others that had worked with Ron within the BBQ community. Needless to say, my purchase with St Louis BBQ
Store went effortlessly, and Ron has been there since to support me with answers to questions and additional products & services.
I highly recommend St Louis BBQ Store!"

"I was looking for a Backwoods Smoker dealer on the forums and Ron Kaup from St Louis BBQ Store introduced himself.
Ron has hands on experience with Backwoods Smokers and did an excellent job covering the options available for the smoker. With his knowledge of the product he was able to recommend the best options for my budget.
He also spent time looking for alternate shipping methods in order to reduce shipping costs. I was impressed with Ron's service and would not hesitate to do business with him again.
The smoker is working well. The only problem is that I can't use it more often...
